Another bargain for someone, eh Bob? ;)

I wouldn't be without ours now. (y)

BTW, are you changing MHs? :eek:

Cheers,

Jock. :)

How easy is it to install please? Does it usually go in the engine bay?
1. It can be easy to fit Peter, if you know what you are doing, and have an appreciation that 12v electrics can be just as lethal as 240v electrics, if you get it wrong. I did a lot of research, and made a few calls to Sterling themselves, who were excellent.

2. It's a bit big for the engine bay, and would be subjected to road dirt and crud. I installed ours in a cupboard directly above the batteries, ie, shortest cable length, and used 30mm sq welding cable to make the connections.

It looks like @enery8 might be in there. ;)

Cheers,

Jock. :)

Why did you go batteries to batteries as opposed to alternator to batteries? Just wondered. We are still adding pro and con or solar etc.

My pm was a cost of postage enquiry but now not sure if I could use it with our solar panel setup so please do not consider this sold until Bob marks it sold, sorry for any confusion.

I don't want to be seen to be hi-jacking @bobandjanie's thread, but was happy to relate my route taken on the installation process. I can't help with your question re alternator to batteries. Sorry. :(

We also have 2 x 85w solar panels, so it's the best of both worlds for us, and can be off grid for weeks/months. (y)

Jock. :)

Thanks. I have no problems with 12V or 240v electrics wiring, but it is the electronics that confuses me!

Are there just the 3 connections I can see, i.e. one to the starter battery one to the hab batteries and one to earth? Or is it it more complicated than that

Nope, it's that easy Peter. There is a battery temperature sensor connection I believe, which is optional.

Cheers,

Jock. :)
 
Are these instead of solar panels

Hi, no not instead of solar we have 200w, but when you have days when the sun doesn't shine or your pulling a lot of power through your inverter it charges your batteries very quick. ;)

How easy is it to install please? Does it usually go in the engine bay?

Hi, very easy to install, ours was next to the leisure batteries and there is only one large cable going to engine battery and the earth onto the chassis the other cables are + to leisure and heat censor and negative to leisure . (y) Bob.

They are a lot of money, will stick with the generator till funds permit.
 
I hit the wrong link. I meant to post this one as I think it's explained a little clearer.

Both articles were very interesting thanks. (y)

Jock. :)
